Flash Rom of Chinese Star C1000 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi everyone, first time poster, please be gentle...
I have recently brought a chinese smartphone, mainly as a bit of a folly to see what they are like. I have brought the Star C1000 also known as the Sesonn C1000, Kingelon C1000, HDC White Walker, Vifocal C1000, Lenteen C1000, Goophone M3 and many other names. It is 5.5 inch with fingerprint scanner.
I want to flash the rom and put either a fresh android 4.4 on there or another trusted mod e.g. cyangenmod but i'm having some trouble as I can't seem to find the necessary ROM for this phone in order to do this. Add to this non of the apps that automate some or all of this i.e. Rom Manager won't recognise the device in order to provide rom's and back up facility and when I tried the automated cyangenmod auto installation, again would recognise the phone and continue with the installation...
So could anyone give me some guidance and advice on this,
P.s. Phone is already rooted as its loaded with their custom rom which says the version is android 5.5, so unless this phone is from the future...
Thanks
Matt

Hello,
First, i dont think that there is any CM Rom for your device.
Second, check every other device with the same Hardware as your device, for one with 4.4 Android.
If you find something, a little Modifikation of the update binary should do the job
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app

Thanks for your reply, that sounds a little too technical for me I think,
Now the reason I want to do this is because it has come with its own rom installed claiming its android 5.5 and that its a sony m880 when it obviously isnt....does anybody know anything about this...

Heve you found any ROM for the C1000?

[Q] I can't update ROM - LG P936(True HD LTE)

Hello to All!
After thousands of trials with many errors and no success, I'm here to ask for your help ...
I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod on my LG True HD LTE (or LG P936) but I can not. I tested several tutorials and no resolve!
The apparatus is with Android 4.0.x and're root, but the question of recovery that is the problem today.
I can not install any kind of recovery (or the ROM Manager) and as you know, the official unit only leaves literally make a recovery, but only with the same device, no zip.
And now personal, what do I do? need Android 4.4 at least for me to use the Xiaomi Mi Band.

Confirming lack of ability to upgrade past 4.2.2 on Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110/SM-T111)

Hi all,
Just rooted my device for the first time today using TWRP and flashing SuperSU. I was hoping it was going to give me the ability to upgrade my device to a stock android version of Lollipop. As I'm looking around it seems like that is not supported by the community. I have used the search bar and haven't come up with much, except a few old threads when Lollipop was just released.
I found this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755532 that suggests nobody has modded it past it's final android update 4.2.2. The only difference it seems is it gets rid of some of the uninstallable Samsung and Google apps.
I just wanted to confirm that there is no development going on past 4.2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110) before I flash a new ROM from the list.
Thanks.

I would also like to know, I bought the tablet today for my son, but never checked about the android version, and now i can't update the kids mode on it,so being to get it to update would be brilliant, if not i'll have to take it back and exchange it for one that has a newer version.
Maybe in the future:

[Q] Firefox OS on Samsung Galaxy Ace 2x
[Q] [ROM][B2G][LWW] Firefox OS
[Q] Firefox OS
, there're some ROMs but buggy (no WiFi, camera, GPS etc.). Have these been fixed in the newest ROMs for GT-I8160. Please guide me thru.
NOTE: I want to GET RID of Android (that's why I'm doin it), not install no plug-ons like 'Firefox OS experience for your Android device'.

Take these sources: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g
Add our device source tree and kernel, modify ramdisk, apply our STE patches (the ones from j-aosp should fit aosp base of firefox os).
Then compile it.
But with your experience in that it will be almost impossible.
Personally I wanted to port it before, but realized that I'm in lack of time, and I don't really need it.
Ahhh,wait.... Firefox os is fully based on android.... Only one difference: it uses HTML applications instead of java.
Yeah, I'd probably need some help with these. Do you have any info on if this particular ROM still has them problems i described previously? Where can I find these things you listed? Is it all in the phone's general? Anyway, can I ask for links just for the sake of makin sure I got THE right one?
Isn't FOS better on security aspect because of sandboxin?
Is there ANY alternative OS you'd recommend to me, especially speakin of security? I DO mind Google knowin all where I'm even though I think my GPS' s off, and knowin all my data etc. . Thank you for reply BTW!
@up
You should compile from sources every alternative OS. You can't take it from other phone and port it. All bugs are device-specific.
There is no tutorial. Only generic-device ho-to-build tutorial. For FOS it's https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Developing_Firefox_OS/Porting
You should also adapt all STE patches. No one will teach you. It's simply impossible.
Alright, I'll read these, and try to find more on my own as well. Is there ANY PARTICULAR OS you'd recommend to me?

Have you actually tried the custom ROMS for our device?
For a budget phone, it does have quite some options, and most are running well.

SM-T116 rom dilemma!!

Good day XDA!! This is my first ever post or thread on XDA, for about 5 years I have been a spectator to this site, and it has been an essential source for all things us android foondies want and need. But for the past month I have hit a blank when it comes to my new tab3 ve 7.0 sm-t116nq (goyave3g).
It started when I wanted to root it, little to no support for this model was available (at least through the search function) I managed to root through Kingo root on a pc. But now my dilemma is finding/porting rooms for this model. I have no problem with all my Mediatek androids, but I'm in the dark when it comes to samsung. I don't even know where to begin, for other popular Samsung's it's not a problem, obviously because they're popular.
SO, I need some help. I hate this abomination they call touchwiz, I want a vanilla aosp rom for this model, or even better CM or PAC-MAN rom!! I am prepaid to put a lot of time and effort into this. I have extremely limited experience, most of my past successes was actually the success of other xda members (you guys are awesome BTW.) Any info would be apriciated.
So let's revive this tablet and let's start a revolution for budget tablets.

pit file
Can anyone help me find pit file for galaxy sm-t116NU??????
OMG, Im also stuck here with SM-T116BU which was officially upgraded to Tab E (somehow) how it happened, i don't know since this was my son's Tab 3v originally.
lately. i have rooted tru inception (nice job for the rooting guys) then tried TWRP 3.1.1.0 but couldnt boot, down ver to TWRP 2.8.7.0 bcos the others are either not TAR for odin or files are missing to boot TWRP recovery.
so far, i have tried CM-13 but failed miserably, perhaps those files are corrupted as well
I enjoyed loading with my "Note3 with touchwiz" DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO RECOVER, so i tried using the same ROM N9005_TouchWizMM_V4_16-04-2016. installation smoothly with TWRP into TAB E but could NOT make it BOOT.
I guess some files are missing while downloading those as well or those files have been corrupted thru the years.
N9005_TouchWizMM_V4_16-04-2016 not difficult to find but NEED an expert to cook a SM-116 version since this is best "complete" ROM (need kernel) in my Note3 now
I'll keep trying ROM N9005_TouchWizMM_V4_16-04-2016 into THIS TAB E and mixed with SM_116 kernels n I KNOW I MIGHT BRICK THIS SM-116 Tab E, what the HACK so let it be, NO VENTURE NO GAIN hahahaaa

What exactly are you trying to do?
Well. The TouchWiz works perfectly on my note3 so I'll try to cook a TouchWiz for Sm-t116 from the note3 platform. If u have ready ROM, do send them. Tks in advance !
Ps. Out of town next few days ??

Guys please give the firmware rom for TVRP on the TAB-3 Lite SM-T116 ! Cause when I for some reason flashed TVPP I realized that there are no custom firmwares for this device , But I need 100% working FI-WI, and cyanogen mod does not fit, cause Wi-Fi doesn't work there!

New Nexus Owner Question

Hello,
I won a Nexus 7 at auction and didn't realise how old it was, it has a cracked screen so changing the screen. Hardware I can do and have done for many years however having a look at things like roms is leaving me a bit confused. As far as I know it has the stock android that came with it.
What would I need to install to bring it up to the latest version? When I say latest I mean what is the newest version of whatever rom( I think they are called) that will give me an up to date working tablet rather than one using android from many moons ago.
Thank you for any help
You would need to install TWRP to flash custom roms and i think u should take a look at the Unlegacy rom
Would one of the builds on this page be suitable? - https://builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-8.1/flo/
Once I install it am I still able to use the Play store etc? I have several paid for games and apps I would like to use.
Thanks
